We all knew...it'll come sooner or later. Ahh...finally it is true...
He is going to leave.
He is leaving.
He left.
All we can do now is to carry on and pray we live up to his expectations. Also, we pray it'll be good...wherever he is returning to.

Ok ok. Time to turn the notch up. I can't type a sob sob post for too long. >.<'ll And to my dear readers...THIS POST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A FUNERAL!!! @@
This post is merely dedicated to Toyoda-sensei, an honourable Kendo teacher of Malaysia Kendo Association. Sensei (teacher) has no choice but to return to Japan last Thursday due to work, though we hope he would return for retirement. >D
So about last Thursday:~
Two days before, Mr Yap sent an email invitation to us regarding sensei's flight on Thursday. Then we made plans for transporatation after practise on Wednesday night. The plan was to meet up at KLIA at 8.30pm with everyone as the flight was at 10.50pm, so check-in time would be about 1.5hours earlier.
Thursday started with exams but since it was the last paper, I could enjoy myself more at KLIA. =3 Sis dropped me off at Mid Valley on her way to work after lunch. There I walked and walked and walked 'til I dropped (not literally la) in the shop and stayed there playing the piano, waiting for 4.30pm. Mr Yap picked me up...at this point I felt like a kid being picked up from school thanks to my attire and bagpack. He had to add, "I thought it was nursery, not school." T.T
Then we headed off to pick up Ms Wong from work. (Note: Mr Yap doesn't like driving in KL. xD) Her leg previously fractured is getting better. *nod nod* =) On the way to KLIA we stopped at a rest station for dinner since Mr Yap kept asking me and Ms Wong if we're hungry when he is starving himself. Hahahaha. Oh! This was the first time I witness Mr Yap eating so much. @@ (Note 1: He ordered Chicken Rice and Nasi Lemak at the rest station) You should count throughout this post, how many times we ate. Hahahahah!! (And normally, we thought he can't eat much due to allergy, blah blah blah...)
Since there was much time and probably cheaper petrol prices, or so the others commented during another meal in KLIA (Hahahahah!!!), we diverted and headed on an unsuccessful adventure (we had to u-turn back halfway due to traffic) to Gold Coast Morib. At KLIA, first thing...have ice-cream (Note 2) in McDs. xD xD xD
We walked around since the rest had yet to arrive, looked for a nice cushioned seat for Ms Wong to rest at before Mr Yap and I ventured into a shop selling chocolates. Uuuuu... the dark chocolate ferrero rocher. T.T I want...but so expensive. >.<>
Wong-sensei was hungry so he headed off to KFC while me, Ms Wong and Mr Yap waited for the others. From here onwards, Mr Yap kept sending hungry kendokas to KFC. xD xD The group turned up slowly. The ladies chat and gossiped among themselves while the men helped Toyoda-sensei with his luggage and all.
Mrs Toyoda's bag was an eye opener. It was huge and could stuff a few more handbags within (she had one inside), that it was difficult for her to even locate her own handphone. She had to put the bag down on the floor to get the job done too. @@ As for Toyoda-sensei, it seems that he drank a fair amount of liquor before leaving home. Must be upset.. =( He didn't really look at us either. Must be hard... Sigh.. At least he won't be alone on the plane, it would be harder.
The couple didn't stay long after checking-in. Shared a few words and took some pictures, then they were off. Most probably has something to do with Toyoda-sensei's condition at that moment. =/We saw them off and we dispersed. Rather short I say, but ok. =)
Before leaving KLIA, me, Mr Yap, Ms Wong, Linna and Amami had another meal (the one I mentioned earlier) at a cafe nearby, talking about Toyoda-sensei, Kendo and other stuff. (Note 3: Mr Yap ordered sandwich and muffin. @@) The trip home was rather quiet as well...couldn't tell what Mr Yap was thinking. We were tired and getting ready to start a new day.
Now...we just have to watch MKA's progress.
